Affiliated Organizations
Evolve Chesapeake uses the ideals and ideas of the organizations shown below. You can click on the name and it will take you to the web site. Each one promotes understanding of Christian practices and teachings that leads to a greater concern for the way people treat each other rather than for the way people express their beliefs. This acceptance of all people and a respect for other religious traditions is paramount. We as a community encourage work that eases pain and suffering as well as the degradation inherent in many religions and cultures in the name of God. We consider a Christian life should be fair, open, peaceful, and express a loving treatment of all human beings and Creation. To be like Jesus is to follow his example, not hold onto a doctrine about him.
